New Term Teaching Support

Canvas & Learning Tech Support

For questions about Canvas, learning technologies, and course development and redesign, feel free to book a meeting with us via forestry.tls@ubc.ca and/or check out the tip-sheets here.

Classroom AV & Lecture Capturing

To book an AV demo in the Faculty of Forestry, please contact forestry.tls@ubc.ca.
If your assigned classrooms are outside of our faculty, we would be happy to help you try the AV system in a Forestry classroom with similar setups.

To schedule the classroom live streaming and recording, please submit your request at least 2 business days before your
class to Central AV via this link.
For more information, please check out this website. You can follow the steps in this tip-sheet to fill out the reservation form.

Here are the tip-sheets for using AV systems in Forestry classrooms.

(1) Learning spaces with built-in live streaming and recording systems:
FSC 1001/1003/1005/1221

(2) Mobile AV cart in FSC 1001

(3) General learning spaces without built-in live streaming or recording systems

(4) Alternative recording options for in-person classes

(5) Sharing class recordings with students

Using UBC Emails

Please note that all UBC business must be done using the UBC email. Students can be contacted via your UBC email or from
Canvas. Emails sent to IT and Teaching & Learning Support Team by Gmail, Outlook, or other personal email addresses may have security issues and will not be responded. If your UBC email is not working, please use Teams chat to alert us.

Zoom & Teams Video Retention Policy

Starting in October 2023, UBC will begin removing video recordings from Zoom and Microsoft Teams automatically, one year
after each video is recorded.
This new video retention policy will affect all faculty, staff, and student employees who use UBC accounts to record
with these tools. Read more in UBC LT Hub’s latest news post here.

Feel free to contact
forestry.tls@ubc.ca if you have any questions.

Teams Chat Retention Policy

Since April 30, 2021, UBC has adopted a schedule of removing personal chat messages in Microsoft Teams after 90 days. Messages in Teams channels will not be affected by this policy. Please check out
this tip-sheet for more information.
